The Black Swan

Joined: 2007-06-27
The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, is a thought provoking book looking at why we do not acknowledge the phenomenon of Black Swans, and how we are "restricting our knowledge to the irrelevant and inconsequential, so that large events continue to surprise us and shape our world". Has anyone else read this book ? would love to share views..
